Abstract

A remarkable amount of perceptual development occurs in the first year after birth. In this article, we spotlight the case of color perception. We outline how within just 6 months, infants go from very limited detection of color as newborns to a more sophisticated perception of color that enables them to make sense of objects and the world around them. We summarize the evidence that by 6 months, infants can perceive the dimensions of color and categorize it, and have at least rudimentary mechanisms to keep color perceptually constant despite variation in illumination. In addition, infants’ sensitivity to color relates to statistical regularities of color in natural scenes. We illustrate the contribution of these findings to understanding the development of perceptual skills such as discrimination, categorization, and constancy. We also discuss the relevance of the findings for broader questions about perceptual development and identify directions for research.

婴儿颜色知觉:洞察知觉发展
在出生后的第一年,感知能力的发展非常显著。在这篇文章中,我们聚焦于颜色感知的情况。我们概述了在短短6个月内,婴儿如何从非常有限的新生儿颜色检测到更复杂的颜色感知,使他们能够理解周围的物体和世界。我们总结了6个月大的婴儿可以感知颜色的维度并对其进行分类的证据,并且至少有基本的机制来保持颜色的感知恒定,尽管光照变化。此外,婴儿对颜色的敏感性与自然场景中颜色的统计规律有关。我们说明了这些发现的贡献,以理解知觉技能的发展,如歧视,分类,和恒常性。我们还讨论了这些发现与有关知觉发展的更广泛问题的相关性,并确定了研究方向。

期刊介绍: Child Development Perspectives" mission is to provide accessible, synthetic reports that summarize emerging trends or conclusions within various domains of developmental research, and to encourage multidisciplinary and international dialogue on a variety of topics in the developmental sciences. Articles in the journal will include reviews, commentary, and groups of papers on a targeted issue. Manuscripts presenting new empirical data are not appropriate for this journal. Articles will be obtained through two sources: author-initiated submissions and invited articles or commentary. Potential contributors who have ideas about a set of three or four papers written from very different perspectives may contact the editor with their ideas for feedback.
